Many currently used solvents have to be replaced, either because of regulations or because of ever growing trend to produce safer products or produce them in safer way. There is a lot of confusion in the market place regarding of what really consists of green solvent. Some solvents previously advertised as green solvents have to be replaced according to the present regulations, and these are costly and risky operations.

This book not only gives data on carefully selected, commercially available, green solvents but it also gives concise advise on how to assess and qualify green solvents.

About 300 of the most essential solvents are included in the publication. The table of contents gives more information on solvent groups included in the Databook of Green Solvents. Emphasis is given to safer and more efficient replacements of more toxic solvents. In addition to this publication, Databook of Solvents contains data on solvents most frequently used by industry.

Readers interested in this subject should note that two volumes of fundamental treatment of all essential areas of solvents’ use have also been just published. They include: Handbook of Solvents. Volume 1. Properties and Handbook of Solvents. Volume 2. Use, Health, and Environment. Together these four books provide the most comprehensive information on the subject ever published. The books are the authoritative source of knowledge, considering that very well-known experts in the fields of solvent use were involved in creation of these extensive publications.
